Northeastern empowers students to chart their own academic path, enabling them to create the education that best suits their goals and aspirations. We offer a comprehensive range of undergraduate and graduate programs leading to degrees through the doctorate in eight colleges and a School of Law.

Our students enjoy the green spaces of a traditional college campus combined with the energy and diversity of a university set in the heart of a vibrant city. A stimulating mix of social, athletic, and cultural events build a strong sense of community, enriched and enlarged by the cultural and geographic diversity of our students.
